Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride
I asked via getyourguide for $110 was I getting the big basket or small basket but they didn’t answer ahead of time. They only communicated with you the day before. They noted possible winds recommended I rescheduled for the day after so I agreed. I did later learn the balloons did end up flying on my initial day so I was slightly disappointed I had to adjust some of my plans. Nonetheless the pickup was smooth. On the spot I learned this was the big basket fitting up to 32 folks. It was a bit cloudy when seeing the sunrise. The view was breathtaking and was up in the air for 30 minutes or so. Be prepared upon landing there will be many vendors trying to sell and folks asking for tip for various services. So do prepare some small change for the balloon staff and even the farmer who throws you sugarcane sticks. It was a worthwhile experience. Also the fire was quite hot even through I was in the very front of the basket. I felt it on the nape of my neck the entire duration.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 4,551 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included?
+
Around 1,593 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half day Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
